Hello again all,
Just thought to share my current projects which I'm working hard to finish before I end up lethargic due to the increasing local temperature which is already 30/31 deg C.
I'm always on the lookout for interesting shapes which can be transformed into models.

The Lander is basically the ink cleaning tray from an HP inkjet printer, very messy to clean but well worth it as it has a great shape. The engines are simply upturned coffee machine pods and can easily go hand in hand with Warmonkey's " Need Space Engines Post " except they're free ( apart from the strange looks people give you when they see you collecting things which are normally thrown away :):):) ).
They have nice detail to them , which should look good when dry brushed.

I also used them to build the tank/compressor/generator model in the pics , so they very versatile.

The axles are copper pieces which are bent & soldered into place ( this would need skilled & /or adult supervision) , nail suspensions, wire wound springs & last but not least wheels made from a press mould I made off a marker cap ( chopped off short & filed down ). The toothbrush is for scale & is not needed.

Obviously Esmeralda our Dog decided to come around & have a good sniff.to make sure that all is OK ....

Hope you like them & as always, may you be inspired.
If you need help , ideas etc , mail me on zrunelord@gmail.com

Hello all,
These are my Gorkamorka Ork Card Vehicles - Card,plastic sprues,GW parts & minis,toy parts etc.
Gorkamorka gives you free rein when building vehicles & you can go as wacky as you like.
The Harpoon , Speargun & Grabba claw are made from sprue,toothpicks,card & wire.
There's also the GW new truck.

If only GW in their infinite wisdom (??!!!!) would have done with Gorkamorka & Necromunda ( my 2 favourite games ) what they did with SpaceHulk instead of having wasted it on Dreadfleet !!
.I think they would find a good market for them.
